A case of a patient with headache, visual deficiency in his left eye quickly worsening up to blindness and ischemic necrosis in the scalp regions supplied by the superficial temporal arteries, is reported. This acute gangrene began as a bandlike ischemic lesion in the temporo-parietal regions of both sides, rapidly enlarged, and acquired bizarre irregular outlines. Laboratory investigations and particularly superficial temporal artery biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Horton's temporal arteritis, in accordance with the anamnestic and clinical data assessed at admission.
报告了一例患者，该患者出现头痛，左眼视力迅速下降直至失明，颞浅动脉供应的头皮区域出现缺血性坏死。这种急性坏疽起初是双侧颞顶区域的带状缺血性病变，迅速扩大，并呈现出奇异的不规则轮廓。实验室检查，特别是颞浅动脉活检，根据入院时评估的既往病史和临床资料，确诊为 Horton 颞动脉炎。
